If you stick to the drone code as mentioned above you should be OK. This effectively bans any flight within any city or town (you must be at least 150m from a congested or built up area), unless you can find a nice open park that is not restricted. But always check local laws and restrictions. A good tool to use is the 'Drone Assist' App' downloadable from the drone code site.
Some parts of the UK and most of Northern Scotland, Caithness, Sutherland are extensively used by UK & NATO airforces for ultra low flying practice. But they are good enough to provide time table of when they are generally expecting to practice Here. The Drone Assist App' might also assist here, as it lists Temporary Flight Restrictions and much more.
As of end 30th July the 400ft AGL limit will be wriiten into UK laws, as will a 1km NFZ radius round all airports. So any incursions of either of these will be classed as an offence with fines & potentially jail for serious offences. But once again, if you stick to drone code there should be nothing to worry about. Over the years there have been only a handful of proscecutions for drone offences in U.K.
